(F)athlete, Tri-ing to Get the F Out!

Undie-Run

The Annual Santa Monica Speedo Run www.holidayspeedorun.com) is coming up this Saturday, where a bunch of people clad only in (you guessed it – Speedos), do a mile dash around the 3rd Street Promenade. Do I want to do it? Hell yes! Will I? Hell no!

But it’s on the race calendar for next year!

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to run around in a Speedo, were it not for logistical issues. I once forgot my sports bra for a swim/run combo after an ocean swim and ended up doing my 4 mile run down the beach in my Speedo. I don’t care what the slow-mo Baywatch sequences have you believe. There’s a reason that you’re supposed to wear those suits in the water when you have big tatas and it is called gravity, my friends.

Secondly, there is the potential for hi-impact thigh-rubbage, of which I’m not a fan. Bike shorts/spandex are an Athena’s best friend.

On the flip side, I do love the running shoe/bathing suit look….and I’m not generally afraid of being (half) naked.

I actually think that God may have blessed me with a weight problem so I don’t end up getting arrested for public indecency. To my mother’s horror, I’m a natural-born nudist. It’s the media pressure that keeps me clothed.

Of course, if you are interested in running in your skivvies, scaring tourists on the 3rd street promenade, or want to donate to an incredible cause, please click on the link to the event and donate or participate — All proceeds go to Exceeding Expectations. http://www.holidayspeedorun.com/donate.html
